Yes. It's a computerized system, and besides the online and phone sales, there
are a number of 'terminals' around the area where you can buy tickets. They all
have access to the same tickets...

Probably from ticketmaster.com. You can actually print your ticket on your own
printer.

Yes, plus there are local Ticketmaster outlets where you can buy tickets to
an event. It's all computerized, so that (hopefully!) the phones sales know
what the internet sales know what the local outlet sales are all
simultaneously doing.

I don't think that's always the case, especially for huge events (try
walking up to a wicket at a ball game - they're working off printed
stacks of tickets) - I think TM has a habit of distributing certain
seats to certain outlets and holding back on some tix and releasing
them well after the on-sale date.
Also worth bearing in mind - on the day of a sale, because "viewing"
tickets online - i.e., calling them up - will reserve them for a
period of time (usually about eight minutes). As a result, those
tickets are removed from pool of eligible tickets available to all the
other customers (including you, if you've got multiple browser windows
open). So good tickets can magically appear while you're browsing -
I've had occasions where the tickets I just rejected appeared again as
soon as I put in another request.
All that said, sometimes you just need to get lucky - that's how you
wind up spending 12 hours in line, but winding up the same number of
feet away from Bruce Springsteen.

I'd like to always remain a large number of feet away from Bruce
Springsteen.

On the day of the game.

Used to be true. i.e. you would get better tickets at the box office of the
venue where a particular event ws being held. This is allegedly no longer true.

Sometimes there are comp tickets and such that get returned, and those are then
released for sale. At least this is the reason they give, so, again, I should
say "allegedly."
